NEED FOR DEPLOYMENT SLOTS

Q1: Describe The Benefit of Deployment Slot

Deployment slots provide the following benefits:
Flexibility: Manage and test multiple versions of your app simultaneously.
Reliable Deployment Process: Maximizes user satisfaction and minimizes disruptions.
Zero-Downtime Deployments: Test new versions before putting them into production.
Seamless Rollbacks: Easily roll back to a previous version if anything goes wrong.
Robust Testing Environments: Mitigate risks associated with updating live applications.
Q2: BY Default, all clint request to the app production URL
(http://.azurewebsites.net)are routed to the production slot. one can automatically route a portion of the traffic to another slot. what is the default routing rule applied to new deployment slots??

By default, when you create a new deployment slot in Azure App Service, the traffic routing percentage for the new slot is set to 0%. This means that all client requests are initially routed to the production slot, and no traffic is automatically directed to the new slot.

If you want to route a portion of the traffic to the new slot, you can manually adjust the traffic percentage settings in the Azure portal.
